if the styles only concern the context you work on, this could easily be done with vanilla scoped inline styles If those declarations are relevant to multiple components within your codebase, then you'll still need to leave the context

It definitely isn't, my point is that it seems to be largely is misunderstood as this being it's main purpose. Tailwind is unquestionably accelerating drafting up a custom UI, and also makes this much more approachable for webdevs

Curious about your expectations: Do you rely on utility classes only in your workflow, or do you split reusable patterns into "original CSS"-like @apply blocks? And how would you categorise the complexity of the Apps/UIs you

This is the core fallacy though, imho: css ITSELF is already the tool for "mapping individual styles" to DOM elements. Oldschool "CSS Frameworks" are libraries intended to bootstrap UI creation by providing abstractions

Further down the thread I've left some lengthy comments arguing for exactly this. There are two concerns in defining and maintaining design systems that are (so far) hard or impossible to manage well with vanilla CSS & decoupled st

Tbh I never really understood the reason for the existence of css-in-js either. Just do vanilla `<style> @scope { /* your component styles without any naming bloat ... */ } </style>` nested in the markup/jsx,

I think this is precisely what I am ranting about. These two usecases is what makes Tailwind so useful and accessible for drafting stuff up, but also bear the pitfalls of tech debt to actually maintain and iterate the design system of compl

Exactly my point: it provides an interface to manage design tokens, instead of having to think about those constantly and litter your code with magic values everywhere. But the way this systemisation is integrated throws away most of the ad

SASS and LESS have their place, but they are tooling, not replacements The time it took for CSS to progress like this although is on Browser vendors, not on the language - lots of recent features that seem utterly late to the game have exis

I think OP is pointing to the irony of using an increasingly verbose and overly complex wrapper API that makes it utterly painful to maintain styles "just" to avoid learning css, which is regarded by many developers as confusing o

this makes so much sense - speaking German and English fluently, my brain always defaulted to interpret "ij" in dutch as "ee’" - but it took your comment to make me understand that it's indeed correct, and actually

Death strandings naming is not too far from very common naming conventions throughout history, it's a nicely subtle touch. Glenn Miller, Gregory Porter and Sam Smith just happen to have been more inclined to make music.

It's fascinating how specific words in different languages can be, yet how they have a range of meaning that still relates them closely. "solstafir" means almost the same, but more precisely translates as "crepuscular ra
